GOTTENSURGH OREBRO, AUG. 21.—The important objet for which the Diet was convoked, has this day been happily accomplished. by. the nomination f aGown Prince. His Serene Higbless the Prince of Pyrite Corvo, who Ins been chosen to fill that exalted situation, was proposed by his Nlajcsty, ind unani mously ele6fod; so perfect was tiw harmony which has prevailed on this occasion, that not more than half an hour was occupied in the deliberations. Im mediately after the decision, Count Monier was di retied to proceed to Paris, to announce the event to the Ettiperor and the Prince. His Highness had sent hither his own portrait, With that of his. Princess and son, accompanied with letters containing assur ances of the interest he took in the welfare of this kingdom, and pointing out the means by which he hoped to ameliorate its situation. Among these May be enumerated the re-purchase of the estates of Pomerania, which were given to French , inieers during the late war; a voluntary loan of 8,000,000 of franks, at an interest of four per cent. whip t in terest is to be appropriated to national purposes, and the security and extension of our commerce, GOTTENEURGH, AUG. 23.--Advices have been received here to-day of a French corps of 2000 men haying entered Rostock on the 17th instant. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 20.—The following is the Speech, in which his Majesty, on the 18th instant, proposed to the Diet the Prince of Ponte Corvo, as a proper person to be chosen Crown Prilicti . of Sweden : " At a_ period when, after a long Session the last Diet separated, the fairest prospect of peace opened for Sweden ; alter a long series of severe misfor tunes, lasting tranquility seemed to have been ob tained for this -kingdom. Three Treaties of Peace had secured the dominion which - remained• at, the ell(' of a destroCtive war, and a generous Prince, placed near the throne, promised powerfully to support the Constitution formed by the States of the Empire, and every thing promised to well-disposed Swedish citlzens certain utdemniticati.in for past misfit-tones. His Royal Majesty fondly shared in the pleasing hope in which his faithful subje&s indulged on this head, when one of those unexpected blows, with which Providence at times destroys the hopes of men, aunilMated ours. The Crown Prince Charles Augustus was no more, and his death shrouded the fatale destinies of Sweden in .a dreadful gloom. His Royal M ij,sty, with a mind deeply* affetied by a loss, universaly so severely felt, yet Anindful of his royal duty, contemplated . the state of public affairs, and felt thoroughly convinced, that for the preser vation of the independence of the Swedish EMpire, it became indispensably necessary to secure, with out the least delay, the succession to the throne, which appeared to him the only means of presert lug the tranquility , of the Empire, by a firm and wise" Government, founded on the fundamental laws of the Constitution of our country. Deeply impressed with those sentiments, his Majesty perceived pleasure that the voice of his people, equally aware of the necessity speedily. to choose a sticceisor to the Swedi-h Um); e, loodly and unaoirupusly deelated iu favour of the Prince of Ponte Corvo.% Brilliant ex ploits have illustrated his naine as a warrior, at the same tune hat eminent talents mark him one of the most skittul statesmen of our age. Universally ad mired for the probity of his charaeler and the mid ness of his temper, he fond opportunities, even in the midst of the misfortunes of war, to shew his attachment to the Swedish nation, by the kind and frienzlly manlier in which he treated the Swedish officers and. soldiers whom the chance of war sub jected to his power. All these circumstances and considerations could not but fix his Majesty's at tention and determine his resolution, when the question was, to propose a successor to the Swedish throne. " Yet his Royal Majesty has not failed to take on this important question the sense of the States of the Empire, and 01 the Secret Committee of the Council of State, a large majidity of , t he former, and the unanimous opintons of the latter, perfectly coincided wit h his Majesty's sentiments c t his point. His Royal Majesty thinks that by cotaiding ttie fu ture destinies of Sweden to the Piince of -Punic Corvo, his well-earned military fame, while on the one side it secured the independence of the State, will on the other hand render it superfluous for him io engage in fresh wars; that 1113 strong mind, tu tored by lung experience, will maintain national tranquility and order, and secure to our faithful sub jeas a long and undisturbed enjoyment of the bless ings of peace, and lastly,- that his son will remove in future thnes•f hat uncertainty of succession to the throne which some late lsmer.table events have ren dered still more impot taut to this country. " From all these considerations his Royal Ma jesty feels obliged to propose to the assembled States- of the .Empire, his Serene Highness 1,14 n Baptist Julian Bernadove, Prince of Ponte_Corvo, as -Crown Prince of S.tieden, and his Royal_Md jesty'S successor to the Swedish thione. His Royal Majesty must, however, expressly add the reser vation, that should the said Prince be chosen, by the States of the Empire, successor to the Swedish throne, he must, pursuant to the fundamental laws of their kingdom, before he arris es on Swedish ground, a !opt. the tenets of the pure Evangelical ~:reed, and also sign a similar assurance, as the States of the Empire formed for the WC Cr.,wn Prince. His Royal Majesty has now performed the duty prescribed to him by the Constitution of the realm, and now expects the r, solution of the States. May the choice which they ate about to make, se cure the glory and prosperity of our beloved coun try, and thus fulfil the most earnest wish, which his Royal Majesty can ever entertain. • CHARLES." PETERSBUnGH, JULY 30.••••• It is generally believed that peace will soon be cot cluded with Turkey, our Government having manifested every disposition to accede to ihe terms proposed by the Porte. Imme diately that this event takes place, the greater part of our armies will march for the Polish rivniicrs. Letters were received yesterday from Pernambuco to the cla'e of the loth of July. Cottons had ad vanced 203 per cent. at that Settlement, but nothing of a political charatler had occurred deserving no tice. C.4DIZP4PEESt COMMEvCE.-RuYAI, CADIZ, AUGUST rupi Mkt, qn the. 3 wousw Ard the! usual channel to ihe Consulate, lias ti)is been pubiishod: Tlle i;ottned of R.seney no sooner tees•ited tief uttritpecled mod disagteeanie intelligence of I that have..oceurred itt tin- s..;.raccasi toe Qa .

But in order to proceed with that mature deletkration and eircum spettion wh , ch a matter of such importance de mands, his Majesty thought it proper to advise thereoif With the Supsenie Council of Spain and the ladies, :('lris has accordingly been done ; and Stich measures have oniscrinetaiy been adopted, as Ills M.ij'sty entertains no doubt will accomplish the ob ject in view; mere particularly as:-according to sub. sequelit accounts, neither the Capital and Prosince of Marticaibo, that of Coro, nor even the Interior of Caraccas itself, have taken a part in cio criqiinal a proceeding : but on the onnary, that they have not only . rei.ognised the Council of Regency, but atop, animated with toe ly.st spirit in favour of the people of the mother country, have taken the most efficacious measures to oppose the absurd idea of the Caraccas declaring themselves independent, without the means of maintaining their independence. His Majesty has, nevertheless, deemed it indispensable to declare, as be h ereby ...ee.ares, the province of the Canteens to be in a state of rigorous blockade; orde.ing That ut vessels shall enter the putts izreot, under pain of being detained by the cruizers and vessels of his Majesty, and forbidding all Comman dants and Chiefs, civil or wili:dry, 01 any provinces and dominions of his Majesty, tuauthor:seyessels to proceed to La Guira, or to grant permits or licenses to any vessel bound thereto, v:7 to any poft . Qr Creek of she said'provinee ; and Rather cow maii,iing that all vessels sailing therefrom, whither,oever. bound, shall be, seized, detained, and co . nti-cated ; and, in order to carry this measuie into elect, ins Maks!) , is forwarding a sufficient naval force to prevent any ves,el from entering or departing from the ports of the said province. " His Majesty also direas, thst all the Conn/tan* dants and Chic.s of the provinces, contiguous to the said province, do obstruct the introduction therein of any description of provisions, arms, or stores, and likewise the exportation of the productions of its soil or industry; and t hat they exert themselves to cat off all communication with the inhabitants of the said province. " Tins Royal resolution does not extend to such prot biers of that Captain -generalship as, declining to follow the pernicious evinyle of that of the Ciirac cad, bane manifested their constant fidelity, by re nouncing the prOjedt of rebellion, which has solely originated in the Unbounded ambition of some of the inhabitants, and the blind credulity of the rest, in suffering themselves to be hurried away by the inflamed passions of their fellow-cduntrymen. His Majesty has taken the proper means for the com plete extirpation of these evils, and chastising the 'authors thereof with all the rigour which the rights .of Sovereignty au 'forties him to exercise, if they do not prcu , iously uyike a volunt ar y su b m i ; ,i on ; i n which case hi s Maje s ty grams them a general pardon. " His... Majesty orders that these dispo;itions be circulated in his dominions for the purpose of being carried into effeet, and also in foreign pars, that they (hay conlortn themselves to the ni , asuies adopted for the blockade of the above-mentioned coasts ; and by order of his Majesty I transmit the same. to your Honour, for your information, &c." CADIZ, AUG. 6.—The castle of the Puntal and the 'battery of La Agnada hive been firing upon •the Trocactero ; and two English bunab•vetsels pare been discharging their broadsides at the castl e of Santa Catalina. Twu enemy's privateers, which were seen in the bay at an early h ,, ur in the morning ; captured a coasting vessel, v‘ ith which they steered their course fur 1.1.0t3. AUG. 7:—The skirmishing parties are considerably augmenting in Andalusia. One of them lately at tacked, b,tween Lebrija, Trebrugeua, and Xeres; a detachment of tOO hussars of the 2d regiment, which they . co'n'pletely de.Tued ; as they ( - Fri • also another detachment, !bat had come from Xeres to their as sistance. - The aels of oppression which the Vandals commit in these quarters are so numerous, that they admit of camparison only with the number of the boasted tritunphs which they daily publish in their papers, with an effrontery which is unparalleled. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 17.—Several letters received here from ltia,• state, that orders have suddenly been given to duos up new fortifications on the Co.rland side of that city, and that 8000 artificers and labourers had been in cotiscquene put to work: the cause of this unexpeiled step said to be con neded %%hit the cession of a part of the Austrian ish Prt,vinces to France. Treble, who a few days ago put a period to his ex:steuce in Horsham gaol, was formerly a Clerk in a very respeaable City 13 an ki ng -h ouse, but unt'ortunately getting introduced into wtior is called Flash Company, he negleaed his business, and was obliged to leave his situation, and .for these 25 years past has been known at all the Police Offices as a systematic depredator on the public, constantly as suciating with all the principal thieves in the me tropolis. Some time ago he stole from a mail coach a large parcel of provincial notes, to negotiate which, in cousequense of the failure of Bloxham's house, on which they were drawn, he was obliged to commit forgery. The cast was a curious one, and was sub mitted to the opinion of the Judges, who gave judg ment-against him, and he was left for execution.. He was a retnarkably good-looking marl, above 56 years of age, of good natural pars, and some edu cation, and it is conjectured he has left considerable pr)perty behind him, `.\ l %
